Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors are used around the world fordeoxygenation of water and other liquids. O2 negatively impacts many processes; it is corrosive and can oxidize materials. In the power and industrial areas, piping, boilers and equipment are susceptible to corrosion if deaeration is not present. Liqui-Cel® Contactors offer easy-to-operate, modular solutions for degassing and O2 removal from water without chemicals and without large vacuum towers or deaerators. Liqui-Cel® contactors also offer the benefit of simultaneous O2 and CO2removal from water as well as N2 control with one step.

Membrana Launches Spanish Web Site Portal for Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors

The new website is written and organized for Spanish speakers so that all product information is easily accessible in native language. The site incorporates navigation that organizes information by primary applications and industries where Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors are used. The new website makes it easier for users to identify and select information based on their specific needs. Each landing page contains background information as well as quick links to technical content including data sheets, technical briefs and technical papers specific to the various industries and applications where Liqui-Cel® membrane degassing contactors are currently used.
MicroModule®, MiniModule®, SuperPhobic®, and Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors are used around the world for adding or removing oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) to or from different liquids in digital printing, analytical/biotechnology, semiconductor, power, pharmaceutical, photographic, food and beverage, and many other industries. For example, O2 negatively impacts many processes; it is corrosive and can oxidize materials. In the power and industrial areas, piping and equipment are susceptible to corrosion. Specifically to the semiconductor and ink market, high levels of O2 can cause lower yields and slower process speeds.
Liqui-Cel® Contactors are also used to add gasses to liquids to enhance megasonic cleaning. The beverage industry looks to membrane contactors for carbonation, nitrogenation and O2 removal. These reflect only a few examples of the variety of applications where Membrana Membrane Contactors are used.
Membrana’s Industrial Membrane Group also manufactures a variety of membranes used for filtration in various industries and applications.
